Sigh................

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Turninggrey! When I would be at the 20th mile of every marathon I ran, I would recite to myself from my spiritual readings" Those who hope in the Lord(God) will renew their strength,they will soar on wings like eagles,they will run and not grow weary,they will walk and not grow tired" Your definitely in the correct space,the God of your understanding will bring you peacesmile

I think Alanon's three C's work here

I did not cause it, I can't control it and I can't cure it

I do trust in my HP to not load my plate too full, but the world sure needs a break right now. What would I ever have done without this program??? I am going to ask my HP to bear the weight of these problems for me and just let me get some sleep! Thanks for the inputs all!
Tom

Here is a poem I read yesterday that has been giving me some peace:

YOUR FUTURE

In this world you are given as you give
And you are forgiven as you forgive--
While you go your way
Through each lovely day
You create [your] future as you live.

-Peace Pilgrim

Also:
Q:  How can improving my life help when so many are out of harmony?
A:  Humanity can only improve as people improve.  When you have improved your life, you can inspire those around you to want to improve their lives.  Remember that a few in harmony with God's will are more powerful than multitudes out of harmony.

Also:
A: I can say this to you:  Live in the present.  Do the things you know need to be done.  Do all the good you can each day.  The future will unfold.
